Ethiopia is well known country by tourism potential. Among the tourist attraction sites South Omo Zone is a major tourist destination with enormous tourism potential. The main objective of this research is to identify the factors affecting the length of tourist stay time in the zone. Turmi, Keyafer and Jinka towns are selected purposively from the zone due to high tourist potential area and the data was collected using observation, key informant in-depth interview, and self-administered tourist questionnaire surveys. The data analysed by using appropriate software that is SPSS. The finding revealed that among the variables listed the chi-square result shows that the association between length of tourist staying time with purpose of visit, level of road infrastructure, facilities and services at destinations, personal safety and security, guide knowledge and level of attractiveness are significant and strong. The remained variable such as age, gender of the respondent, education level of the respondents, occupation, marital status, and means of transportation, tourist information, average daily expense and entrance fee has not significant effect on the length of tourist staying time in the destination areas. Therefore in order to lengthen the staying time of tourist road infrastructure, and service & facilities around the destination must be improved by the concerned body. Also the government should attempt to make the safety and security to the highest level in order to make the tourist in the destination feel the best and the most enjoyable although for protecting of the tourist from risk and from any possible litigation. Giving training for local guides to be ethical, skillful, trustworthy, disciplined and knowledgeable also unquestionable. Keywords: Staying Time, Tourism, and South Omo Zone.

A Review Articles","authors":"Bayisa Bussa Gonfa","doi":"10.7176/jths/51-02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/jths/51-02","url":null,"abstract":"Ecotourism is an important and rapidly growing “niche market” within the global tourism industry, which can contribute to environmental conservation, socio-economic and gives value to the maintenance of local traditions and culture. The evolution of the concept of ecotourism could be traced from the 1980s, which coincides with the grounding of the concept of sustainable development. Although it has been difficult to calculate the size and growth rate of ecotourism, a range of estimates indicate that it has become the fastest growing sub-sector of the tourism industry. The contribution of ecotourism to rural livelihoods and livelihood diversification has received significant research attention and taken as determinants of livelihood outcomes. Ethiopia is a country of land of multiple tourist attractions and a visitor friendly people who are conscious of its historical, cultural and natural heritages in its regions. Even though it possesses a plethora of tourist attractions, yet tourism infrastructure, tourist products and marketing are at its infancy. The sector has direct, indirect and induced impact on the country’s economy, environment and cultural resources. To sustain sustainable development for the long run from the sector, balancing those impacts and giving attention towards peace and security as well as infrastructure development is crucial as the ecotourism industry mainly depend on them.

CKD is diagnosed if evidence of kidney damage has been present for more than 3 months; it is divided into five stages depending on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). CKD is asymptomatic and determining its prevalence relies on screening populations, so the reported prevalence depends on the population studied and screening methods used. Risk factors for CKD can be divided into initiating and perpetuating factors, and includes genetic factors, ethnicity, socio-economic factors and age. There are several causes of CKD, the most common being diabetes mellitus. In order to reduce the burden of CKD, it is essential to recognize which patients are at most risks so that they can be screened and treated early. It is hoped that with early recognition and treatment the number of patients with CKD progressing to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and the need for renal replacement therapy will be reduced. Exercise testing of individuals with CKD should be supervised by trained medical personnel, with the use of standard test termination criteria and test termination methods. Based on current evidence, exercise is safe for these individuals if performed at moderate intensity and if progression occurs gradually.
